No black boxes. The same broadcast tech you'd build yourself — we just run it for you.
Industry-standard live streaming server. Handles SRT/RTMP/RTSP/WebRTC ingest, transcodes for HLS delivery. Same engine used by major OTT platforms and broadcast operators worldwide.
Built by Haivision (the company that powers ESPN, Fox Sports, NBC remote contribution). Survives Wi-Fi hiccups, packet loss, and congested networks — the protocol field broadcasters trust over satellite uplinks.
Automatic HTTPS for every domain. Certs auto-renew at 30 days remaining. You will never see "your certificate expired" downtime. Zero ops on your end.
Per-customer dedicated VPS. CPX32 default: 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 160 GB SSD, 20 TB inclusive bandwidth. EU data centers (GDPR-safe) or US Ashburn for US-only customers.
UFW firewall + Tailscale-only SSH means port 22 is invisible to the public internet. Only ingest ports (RTMP/SRT) and HTTPS are exposed. No script-kiddies brute-forcing your server.
One database file per customer box. Caddy access logs tailed in real time, geo-enriched via MaxMind GeoLite2, written to your private analytics tables. No third-party tracking. No data shared.
Same player Google uses internally. Tuned with 12-second target latency, 18-second buffer, gentle catch-up rate (1.05x). Smooth playback even on patchy mobile connections.
Your admin dashboard refreshes the moment a viewer joins, leaves, or changes bandwidth. No 30-second poll delay. Pulse dot in the UI = your live connection to the box.
Running streaming infrastructure yourself looks cheap until the first 3am page.

Three steps from sign-up to live broadcast.
We spin up a dedicated server for your channel and hand you login credentials. ~15 minutes from email to live URLs.
Open OBS, Wirecast, vMix, or your hardware encoder. Paste the SRT or RTMP URL we gave you. Hit "Start Streaming".
Add the playback URL to your Roku Direct Publisher channel, embed it on your site, or share the link directly.
The questions every prospective customer asks.
About 15 minutes. We provision your server, configure DNS, set up HTTPS, hand you logins. You point your encoder, you're broadcasting.
Anything that speaks SRT or RTMP. That covers OBS Studio (free), Wirecast, vMix, Tricaster, AJA HELO, Teradek, Magewell Ultra, LiveU Solo, and basically every broadcast hardware encoder built in the last decade. We have a pre-built OBS-to-SRT bridge utility for non-technical operators.
The default CPX32 box handles roughly 150-200 concurrent viewers at 4 Mbps before you'd need to upgrade. The 15 TB monthly bandwidth covers about 200 concurrent for the full month. If you regularly exceed that, we move you to a larger box with no architecture change.
On Pro, our auto-throttle kicks in at 90% of your monthly cap and gently reduces bitrate to keep you online without overage charges. You get an email and can either upgrade your tier or keep the throttle. You'll never be surprised with a $4,000 bill.
No. You keep 100%. We don't run ads, we don't insert ads, we don't broker ads. We're a transport service. You sell ads, you bake them into your stream, you keep the money.
No. Every customer gets a dedicated VPS. Customer A's traffic spike never affects Customer B. Customer A's bandwidth quota is theirs alone. This is intentional architecture, not an upsell.
EU customers default to Hetzner Helsinki or Falkenstein (GDPR-safe). US customers can request Hetzner Ashburn (US East). Data stays on your dedicated box; we don't aggregate it cross-customer or send it to third parties.
On Pro, the iframe code we generate has no HybridStream branding. The embedded player shows just your stream — you can wrap it in your own logo overlay if you want. We can also configure a custom domain (live.yourstation.com) instead of yourdomain.hybridstreaming.tv.
About 12-15 seconds end-to-end. Tuned for stability over speed — this is broadcast, not video chat. If you need sub-3-second latency for interactive use cases (sports betting, auctions), ask us about WebRTC delivery on the Custom plan.
Yes. Month-to-month, no contracts. Cancel and we delete your server within 24 hours. Optionally we can snapshot your analytics DB first if you want to keep the data.
Your server is monitored 24/7. If MediaMTX, Caddy, or the dashboard service crashes, systemd auto-restarts within seconds. If the Hetzner host hardware fails (rare), we redeploy to a replacement VPS via our automated runbook in under 30 minutes. SLA terms available on the Custom plan.
For pure live signal relay, yes — this is exactly what we're built for. For full broadcast playout (scheduling, automation, ad insertion, traffic, as-run logs), look at our sister product HybridPlayout. The two work together: HybridPlayout produces the channel, HybridStream relays it to your audience.
15 minutes from email to live URL. We do the setup, you do the streaming.
